Kimberly BissellDescription
This is a longitudinal study that is ongoing at area elementary schools. Any student who is selected to be involved in this research project will have to go through ethics certification (IRB). I am revising the iPad app that is being used in the present study to track children's food consumption, and I am developing health literacy/health intervention material to be used during health sessions at area schools. Data collection will take place in December, so any student interested will need to be in Tuscaloosa through approximately Dec. 20th.
Special Directions
If you are interested, please send your resume and a short statement of interest along with any research experience you have working with children, working in schools, or working with iPads and new media technologies.
